Have you tried Falcon Acoustics? They are making a new B110 and may have the know how to make a 4 ohm version. http://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/drive-units-1/falcon-b110-t27-drive-unit.html

Anyone know what the "Shadow" connection is? I couldn't find any manufacturers of audio gear with that name.

I was asked to repair the crossover on one of these: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=1F276BA6ED42D56F!2961&authkey=!APGVyZb-rZowZQ0&v=3 - (If the picture doesn't show up) No idea what they are, the crossover and tweeter say Shadow. Everything looks very 70s and they sound...

I think it had run dry - hence the bits of black on the motor around the spindle. It seemed to run fast and slow and would judder. Can the bearings get rusty? I changed the resistor some years ago to a high power type.

I've dug out the old Rega 3 and after hooking up some Naim phono boards to a couple of Avondale TPRs, I was settling in to a nice evening of music. I got distracted and left the platter on for a couple of hours before realising it had come to a stop. Looking at the motor, it had some black...

Have you got the video of them playing London? That's a great performance with decent sound.

I bought some good old lead stuff off Ebay, it's much easier to get a good joint with (not that I'm smoking it).

Yes, loved it too and still have it on vinyl. I liked a couple of tracks on Nine to the Universe as well. There were a few gems that got spread over the posthumous Alan Douglas releases. Pity they got remixed and spoilt. There was also an instrumental on War Heroes, "Midnight", that had earth...
